Development Order regarding case SGN2002-00815 at 1280 South Highland
A venue (Americo gas station)
RE:
Dear Mr. Davis:
On October 14, 2002, the Planning Staff reviewed your application for a Comprehensive
Sign Program (CSP) to increase the area and number of attached signs from one attached
sign of 20 square feet (1.7 percent of the east fa~ade of the building) to four attached
signs totaling 58 square feet or 5.03 percent of the southeast building fa~ade. Two logo
signs will be 4.5 square feet in area (0.39 percent of the fa~ade of the building) each. One
each will be placed on the north and east sides of the gas canopy. The north side of the
canopy with also include a sign next to the logo that will read "AMERICO" in blue and
red letters of 21.25 square feet (1.84 percent of the building fa~ade). The fourth sign,
27.75 square feet in area (2.41 percent of the fa~ade of the building), will be attached to
the southeast fa~ade, and will read "XPRESS MART" in red, white and blue letters
attached directly to the fac;ade of the building.
The proposal also includes a request to increase the area of a freestanding sign from 20
square feet in area (1.7 percent of the east fac;ade of the building) to 38 square feet in area
(one quarter the lot width along South Highland Avenue of 150 feet). The sign will be
nine feet in height above grade place within a drainage swale 1.5 feet in depth (10.5 feet
overall height). A solid base will support the sign and will be light sand in color to match
the primary color of the building. The sign will consist of three inserts. The top insert
will read "AMERICa FOOD * FUEL" in red and blue letters on a white background with
a red logo above. The middle insert will be have "Blimpie" and "CARW ASH in blue
letters on a white background. The bottom insert will consist of gasoline prices in black
letters on a white background. The address in black letters will be located on each side of
the sign.
